I channel my energy and spirituality into daily rituals and art practice.
Daily rituals include meditation, yoga and connecting with (learning from) incredibly talented woman around me.
As an artist and oil painter, I have a particular interest in contemporary realism within portraiture, still life and landscape.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
I have lived between Athens, Boston, New York, Toronto and Dubai in my 44 years on this planet. I have switched between being a student, employee, entrepreneur and artist multiple times over. Diversity and unconventionality are at the core of who I am.... walking my own path to discover my purpose for this life.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
As a painter deeply engaged with realism, particularly in portraiture and landscape, my goal with each piece is to evoke in the viewer an emotional confrontation—one that invites introspection and fosters a deeper presence in their everyday lives. Through this process, I hope to challenge perceptions and inspire change.
My work is part of the permanent collection at The Palestinian Museum in Birzeit, West Bank and has been sold through auction and group shows in the UAE and US.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
